I mentioned a possible replacement before, and since then I've seen another somewhat similar library, imlib2. Its homepage is at http://docs.enlightenment.org/api/imlib2/html/ and describes it as ==== Imlib 2 is the successor to Imlib. It is NOT a newer version - it is a completely new library. Imlib 2 can be installed alongside Imlib 1.x without any problems since they are effectively different libraries - BUT they have very similar functionality. Imlib 2 does the following: * Load/Save image files from disk in one of many formats * Render image data onto other images or an X-Windows drawable * Produce pixmaps and pixmap masks of Images * Apply filters and transformations to images * Accept RGBA Data for images and apply colour correction/modifications * Alpha blend Images on other images or drawables * Render truetype anti-aliased text straight and at angles * Render rectangles, anti-aliased lines, and multi-coloured gradients * Cache data intelligently for maximum performance * Allocate colours automatically * Allow full control over caching and color allocation * Provide highly optimized MMX assembly for core routines * Provide plug-in filter interface * Provide on-the-fly runtime plug-in image loading and saving interface * Fastest image compositing, rendering and manipulation library for X ==== No doubt this imlib2 is different enough that just ripping out the old code and (if somebody wants to do it) putting in new code instead makes the most sense. -Olaf. -- ___ Olaf 'Rhialto' Seibert -- The Doctor: No, 'eureka' is Greek for \X/ rhialto/at/xs4all.nl -- 'this bath is too hot.'
